SaltDogg Tailgate Tailgate Spreaders – TGS / TGSUV Series

What They All Offer

• Durable poly hoppers that resist corrosion and stand up to winter salt/sand abuse.
• Mounts easily to ½-ton, ¾-ton, 1-ton trucks—and some models work with SUVs.
• 2-inch Class 4 hitch-mount designs or compatible receivers that allow easy install & removal.
• Spinner disks (usually poly) that broadcast material far enough to cover a parking lot or driveway.
• In-cab, variable-speed controls for adjusting spread rate as conditions change.
• Made in the USA with solid components (motors, augers/agitators) designed for rugged use.

Key Differences & Highlights by Model

• Capacity & Hopper Size: Ranges from compact ~4.4 cu ft (TGSUV models) up to ~11 cu ft (TGS07) to suit smaller jobs or larger lots.
• Drive & Feed Type: Some models have horizontal auger feed (for continuous material flow), others use vertical auger assist / agitators (for lighter, free-flowing materials).
• Gravity vs Powered Feed: Lower powered models use gravity or simpler mechanisms; higher capacity ones offer more power and features (like vibrators or electric drive) to prevent clogging.
• Spinner Size & Throw: Spinner diameter and throw ability are similar—capable of throwing ~30 ft or so under good conditions (may vary by material type and moisture).
• Additional Features: Some models include vibrators to keep material flowing, dual-action lids (load from bed or ground), and adjustable mounting to accommodate tailgate style.

Best Uses

Perfect for:

• Plowing contractors working smaller lots or variable job sites.
• Property managers or commercial lots needing quick setup & cleanup.
• Homeowners or small business fleets wanting a quality tailgate spreader without over-investing.
• Anyone needing flexibility in spreader size and feed type for different snow/ice material types.
